Grounding off Flixborough

The "Frisium", en route from Rotterdam to Flixborough with a crew of five on board, ran aground in position 53 37 08.14 N, 000 42 15.0 W, on Feb 9, 2019, at 3 a.m. At 12.30 a.m. the lines holding the vessel parted, and the vessel started drifting, before running aground. The vessel was refloated on the rising tide at 08.40 a.m. but was unable to berth at Flixborough, so it moved river upstream to the Neap House Wharf with tug escort, where it was attached with extra lines. The ship was carrying 1442 tonnes of magnesite on board. The "Frisium" sailed from the Oaze Small Ships Anchorage on Feb 13 at 3 a.m.
